Tuscaloosa developer to build five-story, multi-use complex downtown

TUSCALOOSA, Alabama -- Phil Weaver, owner of Buffalo Phil's on the Strip and other properties in the area, is planning to build a mixed-use complex downtown in place of the Broad Street Apartments on University Boulevard, according to a report by the Tuscaloosa News.

The project, expected to begin next summer, calls for a five-story building with 7,500 square feet of space for retail and office space on the bottom floor and apartments on the top floors.

Last week, the City Council approved the lot for rezoning that allows mixed-use properties.
